Arduino Nano Pin Configuration
| Pin Category | Pin Name | Details |
| Power | Vin, 3.3V, 5V, GND | Vin: Input voltage to Arduino when using an external power source (6-12V).
5V: Regulated power supply used to power microcontroller and other components on the board. 3.3V: 3.3V supply generated by on-board voltage regulator. Maximum current draw is 50mA. GND: Ground pins. |
| Reset | Reset | Resets the microcontroller. |
| Analog Pins | A0 – A7 | Used to measure analog voltage in the range of 0-5V |
| Input/Output Pins | Digital Pins D0 – D13 | Can be used as input or output pins. 0V (low) and 5V (high) |
| Serial | Rx, Tx | Used to receive and transmit TTL serial data. |
| External Interrupts | 2, 3 | To trigger an interrupt. |
| PWM | 3, 5, 6, 9, 11 | Provides 8-bit PWM output. |
| SPI | 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO) and 13 (SCK) | Used for SPI communication. |
| Inbuilt LED | 13 | To turn on the inbuilt LED. |
| IIC | A4 (SDA), A5 (SCA) | Used for TWI communication. |
| AREF | AREF | To provide reference voltage for input voltage. |
